Zendaya, Pattinson Dive Into Chaos in The Drama Trailer
Zendaya and Robert Pattinson star in A24’s The Drama; the new trailer teases a chaotic engagement as love and missteps collide.
Ahead of its April release, The Drama from A24 dropped a teaser that instantly signals a different beat for romance comedy. Zendaya and Robert Pattinson play an engaged couple whose love story spirals as wedding jitters, blowouts, and a handful of chaotic misadventures pile up. The trailer doubles as a mood board of mounting pressure, with quick cuts, a bloody nose, and a wedding toast that goes off the rails.
To market the film, the team leaned into a real-world stunt: an engagement ad in the Boston Globe featuring the couple's names and a photo of Zendaya with the engagement ring, which quickly went viral on social media. The move underlined the film's premise: a couple on the verge of marriage, yet teetering on the edge of something far from perfect.
Kristoffer Borgli directs The Drama; it's his fourth feature and his second English-language outing after Dream Scenario. Besides Zendaya and Pattinson, the movie also stars Mamoudou Athie. The film is described as a dark comedy about love unraveling under pressure, with a tone that promises mischief and dark humor rather than a conventional love story.
In theaters April 3, The Drama is shaping up to be a high-spirited, cringe-worthy ride that might redefine the boundaries between romance and farce. Fans of A24's offbeat sensibilities could find this one addictive, especially given the promise of sharp performances and a script that doesn't shy away from chaos.
From the marketing stunts to the trailer itself, The Drama seems to be leaning into the idea that the most meaningful relationships sometimes arrive through the messiest moments. If the teaser is any guide, this is not a pristine engagement but a front-row seat to a couple's wild, very human journey toward not just a wedding, but perhaps a deeper understanding of what love really means.
